If they do bring her back I hope they at least write her correctly. Not that Melanie ever worked as a character, but I always found Molly much more believable as a bratty bitch than a heroine. All that stuff with her and Maggie fawning all over each other and Vivian having a crisis of conscience because she was so taken by Melanie's charm and beauty that she couldn't possibly hurt a hair on her head made me want to throw something at the TV.

Molly Burnett is actually not a bad actress and would not be so terrible for the show..... except that the writers/producers do not know the meaning of the term "moderation."

It is guaranteed that if they are bringing Melanie back it is to make her the "new Sami." She will be front and center and lead the episode count from the day she arrives and every month thereafter.

So that's the first problem. The second is her association with Daniel who is... insufferable. And with Daniel it's not the character that is the problem - it's the actor. He's like nails on a chalkboard to me and I cannot watch him for more than a few seconds before I ff.

It really does seem as if TBTB have a deathwish for this show.

Best case scenario: since PR has said he will only come back to wrap up his storyline, he comes back with Carly to announce that they are together - and Melanie comes into town to have scenes with Carly. Then they all leave and Hope can move on.

The show is running %95 of dr tan already and now we're going to have annoying Melanie to take the rest of it. Who's there to listen to fans. I loathed Jonas family. They're not interested character at all. They make me puke when I see them on my screen. Please tptb kill dr tan and let Melanie come back and take her dead father off salem and never see them both ever again.

Abby is going to lose both Ben and Chad to Melanie.
And maybe Molly can start doing all the SOD interviews instead of KM!

In every cloud there's a silver lining.
Be careful what you wish for. Her interviews were senseless at times. I clearly remember her calling Melanie "young and immature" in one interview and "an old soul" in another all in the same week.
Her interviews can't be any more out of touch with reality than KM's have been.

Kate Mansi only made one faux pas in all of her interviews with the unfortunate Stockholm Syndrome reference. Her other interviews have been good. Molly's interviews were often an interpretation of what she wanted to see as opposed to what really was.

Well I guess to be fair she wasn't quite as bad when she was moved away from Phillip and into the proper age group. Except for the Daniel propping I'm actually enjoying the show now. I agree with the post that said she works best as a bratty bitch. She is completely insufferable as a young heroine. And Maggie's love for Melanie is even more nauseating than her fawning over Daniel. I'm hoping if she is coming back it's just for a brief arc. Besides thank goodness for my DVR, I can just fastforward all her scenes.

I'm more interested in the Lisa Rinna/Peter Reckell rumor. LR has said she would like to come back and PR has said he would come back short term to wrap up Bo. I could see Billie and Bo reconnecting in Europe. I could see bringing them back for a brief time for the show's fiftieth anniversary year.

When did Lisa Rinna say that? I doubt she would return. She would have extended her contract had they gave her story to play.

KM's interviews and input on the story almost never played out the way she previewed.

I honestly don't think Kate Mansi's interviews are any more off-the-wall than anyone else's in one form or another. I don't put much stock in actor interviews except for the ones that DR conducts because everyone else dances around the issues. I mean, seriously. It's like listening to athletes stammer and stutter around after a game. The truth is NOT going to come out full fledged or it's going to be spun to sell the show. Shoot. They all do it.
That being said.....Melanie. OK, whatever. We need some other drama. Dang, we haven't had some good backstage drama in ages. Where's Chappell or Kola Boof? DRAMA. We need some DRAMA! Did Farah whatsit have a meltdown lately?

That was Vivian's lowest moment in her history!

ITA about the interviews. Their perspective on their characters is almost never 100% the way I see it. KM has more or less been pretty accurate on what is happening with Abigail.

And with Daniel it's not the character that is the problem - it's the actor.
Oh no, it's DEFINITELY the character. The writers insert him into almost EVERY storyline (Eric/Nicole, Brady/Theresa, JJ/Paige, it's only a matter of time before the all-knowing Doctor Dan solves Nick's murder) where there could be other people interacting that would be much more interesting. And now with Melanie most likely returning, he'll be involved with the twenty-something crowd, too. Once Julie decides to pick a nursing home for Doug, I'm sure she'll turn to Daniel for his advice and then he can be involved with EVERY generation of characters in Salem.

LOL. I agree. I don't put much stock into these actor's interviews either. I love Deidre, but some of the interviews she use to give would have me rolling my eyes. Just don't pay much attention to interviews. There're selling a story.

I could take Melanie or leave her, but I agree, we need some REAL drama on this show! Having Ben, Chad and Abigail all interact could be some good drama. Goodness knows, I'm definitely not getting any from the Sonny and Will storyline. So far I like... Babby? LOL.

I remember how pumped up I was when Vivian returned. What a difference her last return made. :(
